St Botolph's Church sits adjacent to The Ridgeway. The church is named after the patron saint of wayfarers and is locally renowned for its 'Snowdrop Teas' every February.

St Botolph died in 680AD in East Anglia but later, to keep his remains away from Viking invaders, his relics were divided and moved from place to place. It is said that this gave rise to him being associated with people on the move and churches named after him are believed to provide places for incoming travellers to give thanks for their safe arrival and for outgoing travellers to pray for a safe journey.
